Born in Brandon, Florida and raised in the small town of Blacksburg, South Carolina, Thomas LaVine blends the organic textures of his indie folk roots with ethereal nuances. LaVine is a producer and songwriter who creates music in a tool shed he converted into a home studio. He is at heart a minimalist, even while building vast soundscapes to get lost in as one would a lush forest on a warm evening just as the sun sets. 
LaVine is a songwriter who uses captivating metaphors to convey emotionally honest ideas about love, existence, and connection to a place, memory, and nature. Known to be abstract, LaVine likes to treat songwriting like a canvas on which to paint with many colors. He has gained support from prominent music outlets including AlexRainbirdMusic, Mahogany, Indie Folk Central, Indie Music Center, The Wild Honey Pie, Indiemono, and many more.

 “I love when Thomas LaVine loses himself in an acoustic universe. When he takes his guitar and starts to sing, it's like he's stopping the clock. And time is suspended.” -Indie Music Center
